Dear All,

(apologies for cross-posting)

The report maps hate speech laws in India, analysing statutes and caselaw to discuss the specific legal standards applicable to speech. As a part of this report, we discuss criminal laws, procedural laws, and medium-specific laws applicable to the internet, television and film, amongst others. Our analysis of hate speech jurisprudence covers a range of cases, from book bans to internet shutdowns. 

We hope that this report is useful to some of you, and that it serves as a resource for practising lawyers, journalists, activists and researchers.

We welcome feedback, comments and questions and will be happy to support anyone who wishes to build on this report.

Warm regards,
Team CCG-NLUD
